Abstract
This chapter probably differs from other contributions in this edited volume in so far as it has neither a clear European nor a clear African perspective – instead it draws on both backgrounds. My European perspective is influenced by my spending the first years of my life in Eastern Germany, which had its own history and experience of (out)migration. My research about migration so far has focused entirely on Africa, at first on refugee camps in Tanzania and now in a post-doc project dealing with Somali migrants in Kenyan cities.
